Billing and Budget

For more information and control over the billing of your account(s), you can use the BillingInfo and Budget resources. The BillingInfo resource allows you to determine which billingIds belong to a given account and can also list all billingIds you have access to. The Budget resource can be used to view and modify the budget of a PretargetingConfig with a matching billingId. The budgetAmount will reflect the daily maximum that can be spent. On reaching this limit, you will no longer receive bid requests for the associated PretargetingConfig for the remainder of the day.

The Ad Exchange Buyer API v1.4 provides these resources to:

The example below illustrates the use of the Budget resource.
